Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 567 Interstellar Colonization Era 36
After the Star Wars ended, Star A ended up splitting—of the many planets it owned before, [-]% of them were occupied by Alpha tribes, and the remaining [-]% were occupied by non-Alpha tribes.

Because of the split, Star A retreated from the position of interstellar overlord.

Although after the split, Alpha A and non-Alpha A are still forces that cannot be underestimated in Interstellar, but they are no longer the unshakable overlords of Interstellar like they were before the war.

But after this war ended, the previous interstellar second, Shining Civilization, did not become the new overlord.

Shining Civilization has a small number of people, and many masters were defeated in this Star Wars. As a result, although he won, he was very powerful, but he did not have the strength to become the dominant existence of Star A before the war.

The interstellar world after the war is a multi-polar world. After the split, Star A, Shining Civilization, and some big countries that won the Star Wars have become one of the overlords that others dare not mess with. This, of course, is a good thing for Earth Star, after all, in this way, Earth Star can benefit both ways from several big countries that are intriguing with each other, and continuously benefit from it.

In fact, this kind of benefit from both sides has already been demonstrated during the previous war.

At that time, after the unification of the earth and the stars stabilized, An Ran and Shen Weitong sent people to star A to ask for those who were dragged to be cannon fodder. As long as they were willing to come back, An Ran and Shen Weitong both sent starships to pick them up.

At that time, Star A was in trouble at home and abroad, so An Ran and others' proposition was agreed by Star A, and the rest of the people who were not dead and planned to go back - most of them were willing to come back - were handed over to An Ran, and almost all of them were dead anyway Yes, there is not much left, since Earth Star wants to take them back, let them go back, and save them from being useless, and instead become the basis for civilizations such as Shining Civilization to attack themselves, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

From this little incident, the Earth Stars know how to get benefits from both sides, and try to survive.

Seeing that the Star A people were completely driven away, An Ran resigned from the Academy of Sciences.

She entered the Academy of Sciences to complete the task. Now that the task has been completed, she can naturally retire and go back to enjoy the leisure time. After all, she was afraid that the people from Star A would come over. Ships, weapons and other things are quite hard work. After decades of being busy like this, it's time to take a good rest.

Although the Academy of Sciences thinks that she is still very young—An Ran has broken through level [-] at this time, and her lifespan has been extended again, so she is not still very young compared to her lifespan—it is no problem that she can continue to contribute to the Academy of Sciences for hundreds of years. , but because An Ran was determined to resign, the Academy of Sciences had no choice but to agree with her to leave.

Fortunately, when An Ran resigned, she said that she could come back at any time if necessary, which made everyone feel at ease.

Seeing that An Ran resigned as the dean of the Academy of Sciences, Shen Weitong did not run for the post of Consul anymore—the post of Consul is different from that of the Dean of the Academy of Sciences. He is elected once every ten years and can be re-elected for two terms. Before, Shen Weitong was afraid of other people It is not good for Enron to be in the top position, so basically after two consecutive terms, he will continue to run for election. Because of Shen Weitong's outstanding military achievements, he is elected every time.

But now, since An Ran has retired, Shen Weitong will naturally no longer be a consul, and is ready to concentrate on cultivation—of course, he must also concentrate on chasing his wife.

Previously, An Ran was so busy with internal and external troubles that he had no time to spare, and he was always embarrassed to mention this, but now, it was finally completely quiet, he thought, he could ask An Ran about it.

All along, he didn't dare to ask, but now he really couldn't control it and wanted to know the result.

If An Ran is still unwilling, then he will continue to wait silently as before. Anyway, the worst outcome is nothing more than this, so he is ready to go all out.

An Ran really didn't think about it, before and after, almost a hundred years ago, Shen Weitong was still thinking about it, before she saw that Shen Weitong got along with her very naturally, she didn't show any emotions at all, she thought Shen Weitong had already thought about it , turning love and love into friendship. After all, at that time when the country was in crisis, everyone needed to work together to drive away the A-star people, and they didn't have the heart to think about this issue. So seeing Shen Weitong has been cooperating with her, I just thought it was for the family, the country, the world, no Meaning in that respect.

Looking at it now, after all these years of co-authoring, cooperating with her is purely because of feelings?
"I said that I cooperated with you because of feelings. I dare not say that. After all, driving away aliens is also my idea all along, but liking you must be a large part of the reason." Facing An Ran Shen Weitong said frankly.

An Ran couldn't help being silent after hearing this.

"That's why I want to ask you, do you still not like me at all after...all these years?" Shen Weitong said helplessly.

An Ran was silent for another while, and just when Shen Weitong's sadness was about to turn into reality, Fang said: "People are not grass, and no one can be ruthless, but... I think my feelings for you are more of friendship, even if you want You can talk about family affection, after all we have fought side by side for many years, in my heart, you are more important than family, but when it comes to love, I think... I should... not."

An Ran felt that she couldn't deceive Shen Weitong, and she said yes if she didn't, so she said it bluntly.

In fact, An Ran didn't know how she could live and die for love like those heroines in film and television dramas, she sometimes couldn't think of herself like that.

In the previous mission world, I also experienced a few relationships, but I felt emotional, but not strong, at least not the kind of hot, enthusiastic, and devastating emotions described in the novel.

Sometimes she thinks that maybe she is a person who is incapable of love; but maybe she has never met such a person, but she really can't imagine that she would hate to die and love madly for a person...

Shen Weitong couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the first half of her words, but he couldn't help being silent when he heard the second half of her words.

After a while, Shen Weitong sighed and said, "I see."

Seeing An Ran's embarrassment, Shen Weitong pretended to be unrestrained, waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to be embarrassing, I won't make it difficult for you, just pretend you didn't hear what I said today."

An Ran hesitated, "Then...do you want me to avoid you?"

After all, if she dangled in front of his eyes every day, wouldn't he be hurt?So she thought, maybe she should hide and keep him out of sight.

Shen Weitong couldn't help being shocked when he heard that, he still thought that it would be nice to see her every day if we couldn't be together, so why did he avoid it?If after the confession, not only can't we be together, but the beautiful woman has disappeared, then wouldn't it be a shame for him to confess?
So Shen Weitong hurriedly said: "Of course not, why do you avoid it? Even if we can't be lovers, we are still friends after all, right? How can there be no relationship if the confession fails?"
